Game Day Round 11, 2019 - Brisbane Lions vs. Hawthorn

[ZoBlitz]

June already? Where has the year gone...

 

[M Malice]

I don't know what you guys think but to me this Hawk looks scared, like a Hawk in the headlights.

THE LIONS ROAR TONIGHT!

 

[iBeng]

Im concerned we're about to see a slide downwards but...we'll see.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Go Lions!

 

[jackess]

Nervous again. It’s going to be tough to shut down their small/medium forwards and outside runners.

 

[Harris Specter]

Hope one of the Robbos smashes Wingard.

Can't stand that diving little prick. Let's go Lions!

Wingards face just before the two Robbos sandwitch him in a double bump tackle.
I think he is saying Help!

I’m quietly confident. We’ve won every game at the Gabba this year bar the Pies game. We’re hard to beat at home.

 

[M Malice]

I'm with lionshine, I'm feeling strangely confident about tonight.

Cam Rayner to bust this game open tonight- 22 possessions, 4 goals, 3 goal assists, 8 tackles, 10 coaches votes, 3 Brownlow votes, 21 pressure acts and 2 fend offs (1 each on Wingard and Sicily) that put Dusty to shame.

I've got a better prediction. Stef to kick 3+ goals playing mainly forward

Id agree if all our players were just killing it. But some are still searching for form and starting to find their midas touch eg Andrews. Lyons has improved, McStay is now starting to show more glimpses. Just need accuracy from cameron, rayner to have a big impact and we are on.

Lions by 22

Is Tommy Cutler playing?

No, but Ben Keays is.

Yes, feel the same. Although slightly worried about fatigue in final quarter after a tough game and six day turnaround

A long time ago, there was a phenomenon (doo, doo, doo-doo-doo) that kept Bigfooty in a state of fear and amusement.

I am talking about PFKs Prediction Time!

1st Quarter - after kicking the first goal, the Lions barely hold on after the hawks run wild. Hippy slots one on the siren.

2nd Quarter - let's not. It's going to get ugly.

3rd Quarter - the Lions show a little ticker, but it all seems like too little too late until...

4th Quarter - Hawthorn have caught our yips! They slot behind after behind while we go goal-crazy at the other end to steal a victory.

Lions by 10.

On a side note, how good are our winters up here. Unbelievable! I spent 2 and a half years in London 10yrs ago and there summers don’t even come close to our winters.

Trying to keep an even keel for tonight’s game. I think I have to apologise to those around me for my behaviour when we played the Crows. As long as the umpiring is at a respectable standard of course.

 

[CarterS]

Crowd estimate, can we get to 25K?

Is Tommy Cutler playing?

Next year he will be Thomas Cutler at the dees....no Tommmmy

 

[Mighty Lions]

Next year he will be Thomas Cutler at the dees....no Tommmmy

He and another of our key forwards will be team mates. Love it.

 

[WA Lion]

He and another of our key forwards will be team mates. Love it.

Go on.......

 

[Snake_Baker]

This is the sort of game you have to win.

 

[Dylan12]

Melbourne has enquired before too

 

[Dylan12]

It’s honestly insane that we’d ship or boot Cutler out given how many average plodders we’re happy keeping.

I'm unashamedly a Cutler fan too, but he has been on our list for 6 years and has yet to even cement himself as best 22. There is obviously a reason for this, whether any of us agree with it or not.

It's not like he hasn't been given plenty of chances over the years. He has all the talent, but clearly something else is missing somewhere. Would love to see him get back in and dominate but looking less likely
